Chapter 3: Rebels Vs Rebels

They couldn't believe it, they couldn't believe a homeworld ship had just crash landed right here on earth. To add to the disbelief a strange gem and what looked like the remains of another in her hands. Not knowing what to expect from this new face, Garnet had shouted aloud " Who are you and why have you come to this planet?'' Hearing this caused the gem to shake in fear, not knowing what to what to do the gems had started to back away slowly.

" We're the Crystal Gems: defenders of the planet earth and we will stop anyone who wishes to harm earth and its inhabitants, including you." stated Pearl, standing along with Garnet.

" Yeah, so get lost, unless you want to get your butt kicked!" Shouted Amethyst, cracker whip and scaring the gem even more.

As the gems held their positions, Steven and Peridot had been hiding behind stone on the beach; watching the fight from afar. But Peridot had noticed something familiar about this mysterious gem.

" That's so strange, that could be a Granite, could it?" peridot said as she studied the gem more closely. But her suspicions were confirmed as she looked on. But from all that she could see she couldn't tell what type of gem resided in her hands.

Seeing Peridot so perplexed, Steven turned and asked peridot

" Do you know that gem, Peridot?"

" Well i don't know her personally, but i know her type of gem, she's a Granite and they're rare aristocratic gem. They were originally meant to be a violent warrior much like a Quartz or an Obsidian, but they became the complete opposite; gentle, kind and a complete pacifist at that." she answered.

"Then that means we won't have to fight her then!" exclaimed Steven , full of joy. Not waiting another second, steven had leapt from behind the boulder and ran towards the gems with the great news.

As Steven took off, Peridot had realised her mistake, she forgot to mention the one percent. She forgot to mention that while Granite's may be kind hearted gems, there was the one percent chance that this Granite could be a violent gem.

For you see when Granites were first created, their creator white diamond was very unpleased with their creation. That was until she realised that there was what was she refers to as the one percent. It is said that out of the creation of one thousand, there is a one percent chance that just one of those gems will be a powerhouse warrior, more violent and merciless than what they were intended.

Seeing this as a major threat, The Diamonds agreed to create a new race of gems meant to eliminate the violent Granites when they arose. These were the Obsidians, but after some time the Diamonds realised they weren't doing what they were meant for and decided to use the for planet clearing instead. As Steven ran towards his friends, Peridot had leapt from behind boulder as well, trying to warn him of the possible threat.

" Hey guys wait!" Shouted steven as he got closer to his friends, " It's alright, she's not going to fight, she isn't a threat." he added once he caught up to his friends. But then he felt a strange pressure in the air. It's as if the world had stopped in that very moment and everything had halted in their tracks

Then from within the hands of Granite, the black gem began to glow an almost blinding light. An from the light emerged a male gem, clad in black. As if acting on only instinct, the male gem had charged for steven, but if it weren't for Garnets quick moves he would have been done for. Garnet had grabbed hold of steven and leapt back with pearl doing the same with peridot as amethyst followed behind. This new gem was tall with dark grey skin and shaggy black hair. He had a semi muscular build and stood somewhere around 6 foot. He was different from the gem that stood behind him, he emitted a menacing pressure.

Then without any warning, this new gem lept at steven. If it hadnt been for Garnets quick reflexes, steven would have taken the full force of the attack.

Then from out of nowhere Peridot had erupted in a cry of fear. " We're all going to die!" she shouted in repetition as the other gems gathered around her.

"Peridot what's wrong?" asked pearl as she began to feel a small shed of fear due to the appearance of this new gem.

" That gem, It's an Obsidian, one of the most destructive gems that has ever come out of the ground. They can wipeout a planet in no time at all and are nothing more than merciless killers." Peridot explained while at the same time have a mild panic attack. The gems then turned to face the Obsidian, who stared them down with dark and cold eyes. A disturbing silence had filled the stale air and neither side had moved a muscle for a short period. Then from the silence, Garnet had begun to speak.

" All of you get back, I'll handle the Obsidian while you guys handle the Granite, understand." she said as she engaged her gauntlets, preparing for a battle.

"Understood." the others said simply, just going along with what Garnet had said.

Just then, as if out of nowhere, Garnet and Obsidian charged for one another and began to trade punches. Garnet astounded with this new gems strength, it was nearly equal to hers. Even though she was a fusion she had a feeling that she may not be able to compete with this Obsidian. She could sense the he may even still have large reserves of power still hidden away. This was going to be a hard fight.

Sorry about the long wait, I had a massive case of writers block and I couldn't even come up with a decent sentence, but I got a wave of inspiration thanks to my best friend and her creative mind. so same thing as before ill post the next chapter as I finish them.
